Regulatory Support We understand the importance of regulatory compliance, and can navigate the regulatory process, prepare permit applications, and negotiate with regulatory agencies to ensure the project is on track. We also identify regulatory options that reduce or eliminate on-site treatment requirements. Corrective Action Program Our approach to corrective action involves strictly adhering to regulatory requirements, notifications, and deadlines, using a risk-based approach whenever feasible, and designing a site remedy that meets our clients’ needs (e.g., cost, public relations, litigation concerns, ease of O&M, level of aggressiveness at treating the contamination), while achieving the regulatory objectives of corrective action. Treatment Options Site conditions and the variable nature of leachate require a site-specific approach for treatment alternatives. Treatment alternatives may be physical, chemical, biological, or a combination. WSP uses bench scale treat-ability testing of site-specific leachate samples to support alternatives analysis and the design process. Our experience with treatment projects includes all aspects from conceptual design to construction and plant operations such as: z Evaporation z Passive biological and wetland treatment z Conventional and advanced oxidation z Ion exchange and adsorption z Chemical precipitation z Air stripping z Active biological treatment z Reverse osmosis and other membrane processes

As leachate management costs increase and publicly owned treatment works restrict or prohibit leachate discharge, the evaluation and implementation of cost-effective solutions are becoming even more important to landfill operations. WSP provides comprehensive leachate management services from minimization, recirculation and alternate technologies, including active and passive treatment.
